Alpine steppe vegetation communities are more sensitive to plateau pika disturbance than alpine meadows by Rui Hua, Peng Zhang, Liqing Wang, Miaomiao Huang, Limin Hua, Jianwei Zhou

“…However, the response of different grassland types to the disturbance of the “endemic species” plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, two representative grassland types, alpine meadow and alpine steppe, were taken as research objects to compare the effects of pika disturbance on vegetation structure and function indicators, and to explore the disturbance response threshold of these ecosystems.ResultsThe results showed that the alpine steppe was more sensitive to pika disturbance, with significant decreases in biomass, vegetation height, and coverage even at low disturbance levels. …”
